I tried Firefox all day Tuesday and Wednesday. It was going pretty well. In fact, I was impressed with a lot of its functionality except for losing my favorites which could not be installed despite an add-on that imported them because one of them was missing a certificate. And, then today, ever...

The other day I wrote a blog post about a rude agent who gave me an eyeful when he responded via email on a Sunday night that he didn't work on Sundays. There were a number of commenters who said that they, too, don't work on Sundays. I do. I do a fair number of open houses, and I find that th...

A couple of weeks back, I was sitting with clients preparing to write an offer on a property. I called this listing agent at about 5:30 PM on a SUNDAY, god forbid. I was cut off with "Send me an email." Even though the client had a question prior to writing the offer which I explained. This i...

I mentioned the other night one of the salads that was served at our marvelous get-together and Joan Whitlock asked for the entree recipe. There were three entrees. One vegetarian, one meat and one fish. How cool is that. Here is the meat recipe. Cotolette alla Pontremolese (Veal Cutlets wit...
